I’m on the road now with three friends heading to Tylertown, Mississippi for the funeral of the father of a good friend of ours.  I’m having a bit of a geek moment enjoying the fact that I’m on my laptop with internet access thanks to AT&T and the iPhone (only getting Edge coverage though… but it’s good enough!).

We’re only about an hour and a half into being on the road for real (made a few stops before really getting moving).  We’ve already had one great road trip song: “if you’re out there” by John Legend.  I hadn’t heard the song since the time of the election – but we certainly went to church in the car listening to it!

I’m going to try and check in from time to time even though this will only be a short trip.  We’ll be right back on the road coming home to Chicago after the funeral.   In the mean time, I’m going to attempt to get some of this backlog of work done.  For now, check out the video and I’ll talk to you guys soon!

Family Reunion 2009 Slideshow

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

I’ve created a slideshow of all the fun we had on July 4th.  ENJOY!  I really wanted to have this finished and burned to a DVD to show on the big high-def plasma screen – but the video finished rendering about 5 minutes too late!


It was so wonderful to reconnect with my family this weekend.  I’ve never valued these connections so much before.  In a lot of ways, I just didn’t know how.  I’ve got to intergrate being with my family more into my life!!!

Anyway :-) leave comments and share what you did with your family or friends this Holiday.

Independence Day with Family

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

This is awesome! It’s about 5am and I’m just laying down for bed. I’m in Indiana for the weekend visiting family and I didn’t realize it but I need this so much! Growing up I kept a certain distance from them wihout totally realizing it.
We watched a huge professional fireworks display put on by a few neighbors for the entire neighborhood earlier this evening. I’m not sure what is planned for the rest of the weekend but I’m looking forward to it. Sorry for the not so awesome photo of the pyrotechnics – I left my camera in the house and the iPhone isn’t great at capturing fireworks – lol

Oh – and I’m also publishing this from my iPhone, which I will write a review of later.
